Game Summary:
Our game is about a bunch of kids who want to be like their parents, so they run away from timeout to rob a bank. The boys are kind of dumb though.

Game Story:
After being put in timeout, the children of famous robbers set out to rob a bank and prove that they can be great criminals too!
They take a wrong turn and end up in a forest! With no other options, they turn to robbing the animals.
Your team plays as the forest animals as you try to escape the robbers.
In the first level, the fox tries to escape the truck and collect enough acorns to free the squirrel. You then have to buy enough from the Shopkeep to unlock level 2! In level 2, you try to escape the robber's lair after being captured. It's a maze with fake exits and a hidden passageway. You need BigSquirrelMode and the bird to finish the level! In level 3, you finish two requests by the puzzle masters to collect a bunch of honey. With the honey, you fill the cat-shaped lake.
(Spoilers: You trick the kid robbers into driving into a cat-shaped lake filled with honey! After the animals decide to save them, everyone lives happily together in the forest. They spent their days in a shared Minecraft server, creating a cat farm, and playing with slime. That is... until their parents pick them up.)
About a few characters:
The Cool Fox is the leader of the animals. She's sassy and made by Penny!
The Squirrel is one of the forest animals. He's silly and made by Rania!
The Bluejay, who looks a bit like the Twitter symbol, is kinda cooky, dizzy, and made by Emma!
Inspiration:
We all wanted the game to be in a forest, and they wanted robbers in the game. So, they came up with the idea that the robbers were kids who were too dumb to make it to the bank, so they tried to rob animals. This allowed them to play as animals which they wanted to do!
For the mechanics, they wanted to play together, so Nicolette thought local multiplayer would be a good idea. Nicolette was inspired by her friend's game "Sugar Bear" to create the WASD and arrow keys mechanic: https://itch.io/jam/egd-sgda/rate/2032659.
